It seems to me that the OP would have needed to shut off the ignition at high RPMs and left it in gear for the engine to have continued to suck in enough gasoline to have washed down his cylinder walls of lubrication. I EOC frequently on my carbed motorcycle but I 1)close the throttle 2) Pull in the clutch as it idles down, 3) hit the ignition kill switch 4)shift down to neutral and let out the clutch as I continue my coast. Doing it this way shouldn't be any worse than any normal shutdown of a carbed engine. The engine needs
to be turning over to continue to suck in fuel, if its declutched or in neutral RPMs are zero. YMMV
